You have no idea what terror is, what pure and utter terror is. You know, they say that your heart beats faster, but it doesn't. It stops. Everything stops. You don’t breathe because... you're scared that it might upset him. And if you get a cramp in your foot, you tell yourself, ‘Just let it throb,’ because you'll live through that pain, and that's a hell of a lot better than what he'll do to you. And the pain is... so complete, and it’s so... so overwhelming. You can go without food for... for three days. And you don't close your eyes, because you—because you're scared that... you'll never open ‘em again. You pray... You pray... ‘Please God, don't let him climb on top of me again.’

No one should have to live like that. No one.
